[Strophe]
E                                          B/G# 
I choose me, and I know that’s selfish, love 
                                            A 
You are a dream, and I can’t thank you enough 
  
But I give another piece of me away 
Am 
Every waking day that I’m with you 
E                                                B/G# 
Am I a monster? What will your family think of me? 
                                                    A 
They brought me in, they helped me out with everything 
  
But I give a little piece of me away 
Am 
Every single day
[Refrain]
E                                                 B/G# 
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train 
                                           A 
I got my reasons, but darling I can’t explain 
  
I’ll always love you 
Am 
But tonight’s the night I choose to walk away 
E                          B/G# 
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo 
                           A Am 
Bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
[Strophe]
E                                        B/G# 
Love you so much that I have to let you go 
                                               A 
I’ll miss your touch and the secrets we both know 
  
But it would be wrong for me to stay 
Am 
And I’ll just give you hope
[Refrain]
E                                                 B/G# 
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train 
                                           A 
I got my reasons, but darling I can’t explain 
  
I’ll always love you 
Am 
But tonight’s the night I choose to walk away 
E                                                  B/G# 
I can’t stop crying, I hate that I’ve caused you pain 
                                              A 
But I can’t deny it, I just don’t feel the same 
  
I’ll always love you 
Am 
But tonight’s the night I choose to walk away 
E                          B/G# 
Run back, Run back to you 
                           A Am 
Run back, Run back to you  
E                                                B/G# 
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train 
                                           A 
I got my reasons, but darling I can’t explain 
  
I’ll always love you 
Am                                 Emaj7 
But tonight’s the night I choose to walk away
